What We Do
Kate McLeod creates safe, effective products that bring intentioned moments of self care and everyday magic to people's lives.
A former pastry chef, Kate understands the beauty of simple, homemade recipes made from whole, good-for-you ingredients. In her kitchen, synthetics are forbidden and quality reigns without compromise. Our innovative Body Stone solid moisturizers are waterless concentrates designed to intensely nourish the skin—a little goes a long way. By removing water from our formulas, we are able to create sustainable, plastic-free packaging and avoid some of the biggest culprits of waste in the beauty industry.
Our Hudson Valley workshop produces Kate’s recipes with integrity, care, and love. We keep our people and our process close to home, employing local chefs, bakers, and makers to create products that are handmade just for you.
